“And, by the way, since according to your rules we are not allowed to use a swimming pool 5-6 days each month, do we get a preferential price compared with men?” Tabatasze wrote on Facebook.

Sexism and misogyny remain problems in the country. The Women’s Fund in Georgia notes that violence against women and suppression of LGBTQ women remains prevalent. In 2012, BBC reported that the head of the Georgia Orthodox Church said at a Sunday sermon that men should be in charge of the family and women should be waiting at home to wash their husbands’ feet.

“My goal is not to shame them for the sake of shaming,” Tabatadze told BuzzFeed News about why she posted Vake’s rule. “Overall misogyny is so widespread in this culture that sometimes companies/people make mistakes unconsciously. The real test is how they respond when they are exposed.”
